Definition of Personal Data

Personal Data means any data that relates to an identifiable person who can be directly/indirectly identified from that data. In this case, it means personal data that you give to us via our site.

By providing your personal data, you agree that we can use your personal data in accordance with this policy. We collect, use and retain Personal Information about you only to the extent that is reasonably required to conduct our business effectively.

Ensure you understand this policy in its entirety and take your time to read it.

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to donate; book/register for an event or purchase an item from our store, we assume you understand that your data must be collected to process your request. We will use your data for processing purposes only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will ask you directly for your expressed consent via a form checkbox.

Who are we?

How do we collect information from you?

We collect information from you:

when you book or register for an event. We use a CMS form plugin called Ninja Forms to collect the information necessary to complete your booking. We have multiple forms featured at any time on our website. We do not share data collected via our online forms with any other business or third parties, apart from Ninja Forms itself and unless when required/instructed to do so by law. Data collected via our forms is both stored in the CMS and can be downloaded as a csv file for marketing purposes. Our policy is to delete data from our CMS every three years, whilst the archiving and deletion of data from our email servers is subject to whether or not the data is still relevant or necessary. You can find out more about about how Ninja Forms comply with General Data Protection Regulation by reading their Privacy Policy .

when you purchase something from our online shop. Our online store is hosted on Woocommerce. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.Your data is stored through Woocommerce’s data storage, databases and the general Woocommerce application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then WooCommerce stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
